Description
本発明は熱可塑性材料からの容器作成方法であって、次の工程を有する。それは、 少なくとも1つの、板状、殻状、若しくは管状の熱可塑性材料からなるプリフォームを用意し、少なくとも1つのプリフォームを、少なくとも1つの成形凹部となるキャビティを有する多部材金型に導入し、前記金型内で差圧を用いてプリフォームを成形して最終形状とし殻状の中間生成体を得る工程である。 This invention is a container preparation method from a thermoplastic material, Comprising: It has the following processes. It prepares a preform made of at least one plate-like, shell-like or tubular thermoplastic material, and introduces at least one preform into a multi-member mold having a cavity which becomes at least one molding recess. This is a step of forming a preform in a final shape by forming a preform using differential pressure in the mold.
本発明に従う、この種の方法は、例えば押出ブロー成形法として実行できるものである。また、代わりに、前記成形方法は、深絞り法としても実行できる。 Such a method according to the invention can be carried out, for example, as an extrusion blow molding process. Alternatively, the forming method can be performed as a deep drawing method.
本発明に従う、可塑化した熱可塑性材料の板状若しくは殻状のプリフォームは、例えば巻き取り状、殻状、若しくは管状のプリフォームを押出することで得られるものであり、管状のプリフォームは、好ましくは一方の側で少なくとも長さ方向に分断され、次いで、金型内で未だ温かい可塑状態のプリフォームに内部付属品が組み合わせできるように、金型内に導入される。容器が完成した後では、これらの部品は容器内に配設され、明確に或いは材料上、容器の壁に接続される。 A plate-like or shell-like preform of a plasticized thermoplastic material according to the present invention is obtained, for example, by extruding a roll-like, shell-like or tubular preform, and the tubular preform is , Preferably cut at least longitudinally on one side and then introduced into the mold so that the internal accessories can be combined with the preform in the mold that is still warm in the mold. After the container is complete, these parts are placed in the container and are clearly or materially connected to the container wall.
1つ若しくは複数のプリフォームは、初めに金型内の金型のキャビティに対して配置され、成形されて金型のキャビティ内で最終形状が与えられて殻状の中間生成体を作成する。更なる工程では、例えば金型の部材を閉じることで互いに融着された殻状の中間生成体により、その中間生成体は一緒に組み合わされて、閉じた中空体を形成する。 One or more preforms are initially placed against the mold cavities in the mold and molded to give a final shape in the mold cavities to create a shell-like intermediate product. In a further step, the intermediate products are combined together to form a closed hollow body, for example by shell-shaped intermediate products fused together by closing the mold members.
本発明に従う方法は、好ましくは自動車の移動タンク、例えば、燃料タンクを作成したり、洗浄液タンクを作成したり、液体添加物用のタンクを作成したりする方法とされる。 The method according to the present invention is preferably a method of creating a moving tank of an automobile, for example a fuel tank, a cleaning liquid tank, or a tank for liquid additives.
本方法は、第1に、プリフォームの可塑化した熱可塑性材料の押出の熱を用いて容器の仕上げ形状を得る。しかしながら、本発明の範囲内で、金型に導入される前若しくはその間に再可塑化されるところの、板状若しくは殻状の半仕上げ製品を使用することを想定しても良い。 The method first obtains the finished shape of the container using the heat of extrusion of the plasticized thermoplastic material of the preform. However, within the scope of the present invention, it may be envisaged to use a plate or shell semifinished product that is replasticized before or during its introduction into the mold.
本発明に従う差圧の使用は、金型により形成された少なくとも一時的に閉じられる金型凹部がガス圧の影響下にあること及び/又は金型のキャビティが排気されていることを意味するようにととられるべきである。 The use of differential pressure according to the present invention means that the mold recess formed by the mold that is at least temporarily closed is under the influence of gas pressure and / or the mold cavity is evacuated. Should be taken.
本発明に従う前記方法は、その壁を貫通する少なくとも1つの接続要素を有する、熱可塑性材料からの容器の作成に特に関する。 Said method according to the invention relates in particular to the production of a container from a thermoplastic material having at least one connecting element extending through its wall.
この種の方法は、例えばドイツ特許公開 第10 2007 024 667号からも知られている。この方法は、押出ブロー成形により、熱可塑性樹脂からの容器を作成するものであって、多部品金型内での形状仕上げの間に、該容器はその壁を貫通する少なくとも1つの接続要素が設けられ、該容器の壁は未だ可塑化した状態で、少なくとも部分的な領域で容器の壁に接続要素が材料的に結合するように容器の壁が貫通され、前記接続要素は貫通先端部を有し、容器壁の貫通時に、前記接続要素は、金型内に配され且つ前記接続要素とは遠い側の容器壁の側に配設される打ち抜き型に挿入される。この方法では、前記接続要素は容器壁を介して或いは金型凹部側のプリフォームを介して押圧される。この接続要素は、第1に完成した容器の内側に配設される、内部付属品、特に通気装置等がホースにより外部に接続できるようにするものである。容器の作成の間でのプリフォームの壁の貫通は、次なる容器壁への円形の切断や穴開けを回避できるという利点をもたらす。特に熱可塑性材料で作られる燃料タンクは、炭化水素のバリア層を伴う多層共押出物から形成される。炭化水素の拡散を防止するバリア層のバリア効果がそれらの領域で犠牲となるので、容器壁への開口部の作成によるバリア層への後のダメージは、基本的には望ましくない。 A method of this kind is also known, for example, from German Patent Publication No. 10 2007 024 667. In this method, a container is made from a thermoplastic resin by extrusion blow molding, and during the shape finishing in a multi-part mold, the container has at least one connecting element penetrating its wall. The container wall is penetrated so that the connecting element is materially coupled to the container wall in at least a partial region, the container wall still plasticized, said connecting element having a penetrating tip And when the container wall is penetrated, the connecting element is inserted into a punching die arranged in the mold and disposed on the side of the container wall far from the connecting element. In this method, the connecting element is pressed through the container wall or through a preform on the mold recess side. This connecting element is intended to allow internal accessories, in particular a venting device, etc., disposed inside the first completed container to be connected to the outside by a hose. The penetration of the preform wall during the creation of the container offers the advantage that circular cuts and perforations in the next container wall can be avoided. Fuel tanks made in particular of thermoplastic materials are formed from multilayer coextrudates with a hydrocarbon barrier layer. Subsequent damage to the barrier layer due to the creation of an opening in the container wall is basically undesirable, since the barrier effect of the barrier layer that prevents hydrocarbon diffusion is sacrificed in those areas.
熱可塑性材料から燃料タンクを作成する方法や、ホース等の接続要素を有するこの種の燃料タンクは、例えば欧州特許公開 第1 211 196号から知られている。この欧州特許公開 第1 211 196号は、タンク壁に埋め込まれた炭化水素バリア層を有する熱可塑性材料からなる2つのシェルの燃料タンクであって、2つのシェルは、結合されてタンクを形成し、熱形成により得られるものについて説明する。炭化水素の高い透過耐性を維持しながら接続要素の簡単な取り付けを確保するため、少なくとも1つの外側部品と1つの内側部品からなる、2部品の接続要素や2部品の付属品が欧州特許公開 第1 211 196号で配されており、外側部品のタンクの外壁に融着され、タンクの壁をずらしたり或いは挟持することで内側部品は少なくとも部分的に外側部品を貫通する。この構造は、部品間でタンク壁が閉じられて位置が変えられ、その結果、位置が変えられた材料が通路のシール材とされるという利点を有する。しかしながら、欧州特許公開 第1 211 196号に説明さえた方法での材料の変位は、部品を介して流動を阻止する内側部品と外側部品の間の部材を、その製造の後でタンクの適宜なトリミングにより、取り除く必要がものとし、これは比較的に複雑な工程となってしまう。 A method for producing a fuel tank from a thermoplastic material and a fuel tank of this kind having connecting elements such as hoses are known, for example, from EP 1 211 196. This European Patent Publication No. 1 211 196 is a two-shell fuel tank made of a thermoplastic material having a hydrocarbon barrier layer embedded in the tank wall, the two shells being joined to form a tank. What is obtained by thermoforming will be described. A two-part connecting element and two-part accessory consisting of at least one outer part and one inner part are published in European patents in order to ensure easy attachment of the connecting element while maintaining the high permeation resistance of hydrocarbons No. 1 211 196, which is fused to the outer wall of the tank of the outer part, and the inner part at least partially penetrates the outer part by shifting or clamping the tank wall. This construction has the advantage that the tank wall is closed between parts and repositioned, so that the repositioned material becomes the passage seal. However, the displacement of the material in the manner described in EP 1 211 196 may cause the member between the inner part and the outer part, which prevents flow through the part, to be properly fitted in the tank after its manufacture. Trimming must be removed, which is a relatively complicated process.
一方、ドイツ特許公開 第10 2007 042 667号から知られる方法では、接続部品若しくは接続部品上に実装された切断スリーブによってプリフォームの壁に穴あけされた材料部が接続部品の開口を遮断してしまうという不都合を有するものとされる。少なくとも、接続部を作成した後でプリフォームを打ち抜いた部材の余白を除去する必要がある。さらに、比較的に大きな孔開けユニットを金型内に配する必要がある。金型内で安定してプリフォームを貫通するためには、比較的に高圧と比較的に速い送り速度で孔開け装置を稼働させる必要があるが、これは比較的に高価となる。 On the other hand, in the method known from DE 10 2007 042 667, the material part drilled in the preform wall by the connecting part or the cutting sleeve mounted on the connecting part blocks the opening of the connecting part. It is said that it has the inconvenience. At least, it is necessary to remove the blank of the member punched from the preform after the connection portion is created. Furthermore, it is necessary to arrange a relatively large drilling unit in the mold. In order to stably penetrate the preform in the mold, it is necessary to operate the punching device at a relatively high pressure and a relatively high feed rate, which is relatively expensive.
さらに、金型内に配される打ち抜きダイに対し孔開けユニットの構造については、比較的に狭い許容窓が維持されるべきである。 Furthermore, a relatively narrow tolerance window should be maintained for the structure of the punching unit for the punching dies placed in the mold.
請求項1の前段部分(preamble)に従う方法は、例えばドイツ特許 第30 42 962号(C2)に開示されている。部品を成形品に接続する方法は例えば米国特許公開 2011/0140314号(A1)に開示されている。 A method according to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed, for example, in German Patent 30 42 962 (C2). A method for connecting a part to a molded article is disclosed in, for example, US Patent Publication No. 2011/0140314 (A1).
そこで、本発明の基調となる目的は、その壁を貫通する接続要素を有する熱可塑性材料からの容器を作成するために最初に説明される方法を提供することであり、その方法は前述の不都合を有していない。 Thus, the underlying objective of the present invention is to provide a method described first for making a container from a thermoplastic material having a connecting element passing through its wall, which method has the aforementioned disadvantages. Does not have.
前記目的は、請求項1の特徴に従う方法によって成し遂げられるものである。本発明に従う方法の更なる有益な実施形態は、従属した請求項により保護されるものである。 The object is achieved by a method according to the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the method according to the invention are protected by the dependent claims.
本発明は、金型側、即ちキャビテイの壁面に向かうプリフォームの側の未だ温かい可塑性のプリフォームに開口部が形成され、接続要素が金型凹部側から即ち内側若しくは金型のキャビティから反対側のプリフォーム側から挿入されるという効果を有するところに要約される。接続要素は、この開口部に導入され、その接続要素はこの工程の間に積極的及び/又は材料的に容器の次なる内壁に接続される。 The present invention has an opening formed in the mold side, i.e. the warm plastic preform on the side of the preform facing the wall of the cavity, so that the connecting element is from the mold recess side, i.e. from the inside or from the mold cavity. It is summarized in that it has the effect of being inserted from the preform side. A connecting element is introduced into this opening, which is positively and / or materially connected to the next inner wall of the container during this process.
一方で、本発明による方法では、金型の内側の大きな孔開け装置が不要とされ、他方では開口部と接続要素の間で互いに許容値を大きくできる構造が得られる。前記マンドレルで作成される開口部は、わずかに大きなサイズであり、マンドレルによって形成される開口部へ内側からの接続要素の挿入によって開口部の封止がなされる。この工程では、接続要素を結合させ、マンドレルにより作成される開口部の信頼できる封止が確実になされるように、プリフォームの未だ温かい可塑性の材料が位置ずれされる。 On the other hand, the method according to the invention eliminates the need for a large drilling device inside the mold and, on the other hand, a structure that allows a greater tolerance between the opening and the connecting element. The opening created by the mandrel is slightly larger in size, and the opening is sealed by inserting a connecting element from the inside into the opening formed by the mandrel. In this step, the still warm plastic material of the preform is misaligned to join the connecting elements and to ensure a reliable sealing of the opening created by the mandrel.
もし芯部材若しくは中央フレームを有する3つの部品の金型を用いて本方法が実施される場合、接続要素を操作するためには芯部材上若しくは中央フレームの中には比較的に小さな空間が必要とされるに過ぎない。 If the method is carried out using a three-part mold with a core member or a central frame, a relatively small space is required on the core member or in the central frame in order to operate the connecting element It is only taken.
本発明の方法では、接続要素が、開口部への挿入の前に、例えば赤外線加熱装置、融着ミラー、或いは加熱プレートなどによって予熱されて好ましくは用意される。 In the method according to the invention, the connecting element is preferably prepared by being preheated, for example by means of an infrared heating device, a fusion mirror or a heating plate, before insertion into the opening.
本発明の方法の特に好適な実施形態では、マンドレルにより形成される開口部は接続要素の挿入の前もしくは挿入の間に寸法付けされる。 In a particularly preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the opening formed by the mandrel is dimensioned before or during the insertion of the connecting element.
寸法付けは、例えば金型側から少なくとも1つの寸法取りスリーブを開口部に挿入することによって行われる。この寸法取りスリーブによって、当該開口部は僅かに大きなサイズで正確な方法で拡げられる。この種のオーバーサイズは十分の2,3ミリメーターのオーダーである。 The dimensioning is performed, for example, by inserting at least one dimensioning sleeve into the opening from the mold side. With this dimensioning sleeve, the opening is expanded in a precise manner with a slightly larger size. This type of oversize is on the order of a few millimeters.
接続要素は、便宜上、接続スタブにより、開口部内に配設した寸法取りスリーブ中に挿入され、寸法取りスリーブが開口部から引き出される。この工程の間若しくはその後、接続要素はその接続要素の上に配されるカラーによってプリフォームに融着される。 For convenience, the connecting element is inserted by a connecting stub into a dimensioning sleeve arranged in the opening, and the dimensioning sleeve is pulled out of the opening. During or after this step, the connecting element is fused to the preform by a collar disposed on the connecting element.
寸法取りスリーブは、好ましくは融着工程が実行された後に限りキャビティ内に引き出される。前記接続要素の融着の間、接続スタブ内の通路は前記プリフォームで塞がれることになる。 The dimensioning sleeve is preferably withdrawn into the cavity only after the fusing process has been carried out. During fusion of the connecting elements, the passages in the connecting stub will be plugged with the preform.
一例によれば、接続要素は、融着カラーを伴う2部品の構成とすることができ、該融着カラーは融着性の点でプリフォームと相溶性とされ、接続部材の他の部品はプリフォームに融着できない材料から構成される。例えば、融着カラーはポリエチレンからなり、これはプリフォームがポリエチレン(HDPE:高密度ポリエチレン)を主体とする多層壁構造を有する場合に特に利点を有する。接続要素自体は、例えばポリアミドのニップルとして設計され得るものである。代替的には、接続要素はプリフォームの材料に融着できる熱可塑性材料から形成することも可能である。 According to one example, the connecting element can be a two-part configuration with a fusing collar, the fusing collar being compatible with the preform in terms of fusing properties, and the other parts of the connecting member being Consists of materials that cannot be fused to the preform. For example, the fusion color is made of polyethylene, which is particularly advantageous when the preform has a multilayer wall structure mainly composed of polyethylene (HDPE: high density polyethylene). The connecting element itself can be designed, for example, as a polyamide nipple. Alternatively, the connecting element can be formed from a thermoplastic material that can be fused to the preform material.
本発明の便宜的で有益な変形例においては、容器内に配設された通気装置に金型凹部側で接続要素が接続されるものである。 In a convenient and beneficial variant of the invention, the connection element is connected to the venting device arranged in the container on the mold recess side.
本発明に従う方法では、初めに金型のキャビティに単数若しくは複数のプリフォームを用意し、内部付属品の支持部を有する芯部材若しくは中央フレームに対して、できれば金型を閉じながらプリフォームに直前に形成された開口部に接続要素を挿入し、金型凹部側のプリフォーム壁に少なくとも1つの内部付属品を結合させる。この後、金型が再度開かれ、芯部材又は内部付属品若しくは中央フレームのための支持フレームはキャビティを有する金型部品の間から取り除かれ、プリフォームを閉じた容器に結合するために金型が閉じられる。本方法のこの段階では、金型凹部は例えば5乃至7バール(bar)のオーダーの気体圧力に置かれる。 In the method according to the present invention, first or more preforms are prepared in the cavity of the mold, and the core member or the central frame having the support portion of the internal accessory is placed in front of the preform while closing the mold if possible. A connecting element is inserted into the opening formed in the, and at least one internal accessory is coupled to the preform wall on the mold recess side. After this, the mold is reopened and the core member or internal accessories or support frame for the central frame is removed from between the mold parts with cavities, and the mold is attached to join the preform to the closed container. Is closed. At this stage of the method, the mold recess is placed at a gas pressure on the order of, for example, 5 to 7 bar.
金型凹部のこのような加圧間のこのような圧力ピークから容器内に配される体積分を保護するため、本発明においては、金型の加圧時に接続要素を介して装着される通気装置の体積の圧力均衡化が行われる。 In order to protect the volume which is placed in the container from such pressure peaks during such pressurization of the mold recesses, in the present invention, the ventilation which is mounted via the connecting element when the mold is pressed The device volume is pressure balanced.
例えば、このような圧力均衡化はマンドレルによって行われる。 For example, such pressure balancing is performed by a mandrel.
この圧力均衡化は便宜的には、寸法取りスリーブがプリフォームの開口部内にある時に実施される。この寸法取りスリーブは、プリフォームの開口部の或る閉塞を確実なものとし、例えばマンドレルは金型の吹き出し圧力ラインに接続される。 This pressure balancing is conveniently performed when the dimensioning sleeve is within the opening of the preform. This dimensioning sleeve ensures a certain blockage of the opening of the preform, for example the mandrel is connected to the blowout pressure line of the mold.
他の本発明の方法の有益な変形例では、金型側に配される少なくとも一つのマンドレルの使用により優れたものとなり、そのマンドレルは金型のキャビティ内に配設され、寸法取りスリーブと同軸とされ、寸法取りスリーブはマンドレルに対して相対的に位置が調整される。 In another useful variant of the inventive method, the use of at least one mandrel arranged on the mold side is superior, the mandrel being arranged in the mold cavity and coaxial with the dimensioning sleeve. And the position of the dimensioning sleeve is adjusted relative to the mandrel.
一例として、マンドレルは少なくとも1つの開口部を有する中空針として設計でき、その開口部からは媒体が流れ、媒体が金型の圧力を与える圧力媒体源に接続され得る。 As an example, the mandrel can be designed as a hollow needle having at least one opening from which the medium flows and can be connected to a pressure medium source that provides mold pressure.
さらに本発明は、本発明に従う方法を実施するための穿孔装置を有し、該穿孔装置は少なくとも1つのマンドレルを有し、該マンドレルは、そこから媒体が流れる中空針として設計でき、且つ寸法取りスリーブとは同軸され、該寸法取りスリーブは中空針を塞ぎ、中空針と寸法取りスリーブは互いに移動できるように配設され、それぞれ送り装置を有し、前記中空の針は圧力媒体源に接続される。 The invention further comprises a piercing device for carrying out the method according to the invention, the piercing device comprising at least one mandrel, which can be designed as a hollow needle from which the medium flows and is dimensioned. The sleeve is coaxial, the dimensioning sleeve closes the hollow needle, the hollow needle and the dimensioning sleeve are arranged to be movable relative to each other, each having a feeding device, said hollow needle being connected to a pressure medium source The
本発明は図面に示す説明的な実施形態によって以下に説明される。その図面は次の通り。
図において、金型1と穿孔装置2のサイズ比は比例して示していない。その図示は方法を説明する限りのものであり、充分に簡素化されているものである。 In the figure, the size ratio between the mold 1 and the punching device 2 is not shown in proportion. The illustration is only for explaining the method and is sufficiently simplified.
金型1の壁2の部分だけを図1では示す。完全な金型と、その存在するところでの、押出機と、少なくとも1つの押出ヘッドと、取り出し装置等を有してなる1つ若しくは関連する押出装置は、簡素化のために図示されていない。 Only the part of the wall 2 of the mold 1 is shown in FIG. The complete mold, where present, the extruder, at least one extrusion head, one or the associated extrusion apparatus comprising a take-out device etc. are not shown for the sake of simplicity.
金型1は例えばブロー成形型として設計されており、少なくとも2つの外側型と1つの中央型を有し、このブロー成形型の個々の部品は型締めプレート上に従来の方法で搭載されており、型締めプレートは型締めフレーム内で可動できるように構成されている。外側型は互いに離間したり近接したりでブロー成形型の開閉動作を行う。中央型はその開閉動作に対して横方向に可動とされる。中央型は例えば空圧で調整可能な若しくは可動な部品保持部を有し、該部品保持部によって内部付属品が作成されるべき容器内で位置決めされる。本発明に従う容器は、便宜的には、高密度ポリエチレン系の熱可塑性材料から多層に押し出された樹脂製容器として設計されるものである。 The mold 1 is designed as a blow mold, for example, and has at least two outer molds and a central mold, and the individual parts of this blow mold are mounted in a conventional manner on a clamping plate. The mold clamping plate is configured to be movable within the mold clamping frame. The outer mold performs the opening / closing operation of the blow molding mold by being separated from each other or close to each other. The central mold is movable in the lateral direction with respect to the opening / closing operation. The central mold has, for example, a pneumatically adjustable or movable part holding part, by which the internal accessory is positioned in the container to be made. The container according to the present invention is conveniently designed as a resin container extruded in multiple layers from a high density polyethylene thermoplastic material.
下記に説明される、説明的な実施形態を参照するところの方法は、少なくとも1つの押出ヘッドから巻き取り状のプリフォーム3を排出させ、そのプリフォーム3は前記金型の外側型と中央型の間の長さに切断される。
The method described below, with reference to the illustrative embodiment, discharges a
最初の方法での工程では、外側型が中央型若しくは型区分部に対して閉じられており、前記プリフォーム3は金型1の部分的なキャビティに引かれ若しくは押され、前記キャビティはガス圧の付与及び/又は外部からの真空により外側型によって形成される。数多くの部分的なキャビティ4がここで述べられるが、図面では1つの部分的なキャビティ4について1つの金型1の側部だけが図示される。
In the first process, the outer mold is closed with respect to the central mold or mold section, the
部分的なキャビティ4内では、初めの成形の後で該部分的なキャビティ4によって定められた金型1の外郭に当初プリフォーム3は適合する。更なる製法工程では、金型凹部側で、即ち部分的なキャビティ4から遠いプリフォーム3の側で、内部付属品がプリフォーム3に結合される。この結合は、例えば融着及び/又は"その位置での"リベット打ちにより完成される。この方法によれば、例えば通気ライン、少なくとも1つの気泡部、及び連通する通気ラインを有する内部通気装置を具備する容器が導入される。
Within the
以下に説明されるところの接続要素5によって、弁と少なくとも1つの気泡部を有する通気ライン構造は、後続の容器壁を介した接続、すなわち接続要素5(例えば図5参照)の形式を伴う。この目的において、接続要素5はプリフォーム3に前に形成された開口部6に挿入される。
By means of the connecting element 5 as described below, the vent line structure with the valve and at least one bubble is accompanied by a connection via the subsequent container wall, ie the form of the connecting element 5 (see, for example, FIG. 5). For this purpose, the connecting element 5 is inserted into an opening 6 previously formed in the
この目的において、最初に図1が参照され、この図1は挿入されたプリフォーム3と共に金型1の壁2の一部を示す。この状態では、プリフォーム3は溶融温度であり、温かく可塑化した状態である。穿孔されるべきプリフォーム3の点において、金型1の壁2に設けられるのは孔7であり、その背後で本発明に従う穿孔装置8が金型側に配される。
For this purpose, reference is first made to FIG. 1, which shows a part of the wall 2 of the mold 1 with the inserted
穿孔装置8は、中空針として設計されたマンドレル9と、該マンドレル9と同心で同軸に配された寸法取りスリーブ10とを有する。マンドレル9と寸法取りスリーブ10は、第1、第2の送り装置11、12と共に配され、それらによってマンドレル9と寸法取りスリーブ10は共に互いに相対的に可動なように配設される。これら送り装置11、12は例えば空圧シリンダーと対応する作動機構を有することができる。代替例としては、それらは例えば電子装置、すなわちステッピングモーターの形式として設計することもできる。送り装置11、12は同様に油圧で駆動されるものであっても良い。
The perforating
マンドレル9と寸法取りスリーブ10は、金型1の壁2の孔7を介して部分的なキャビティ4内に移動可能である。
The mandrel 9 and the
本発明の方法においては、少なくとも1つのプリフォーム3の場合には、金型1内の部分的なキャビティ4内にプリフォーム3を予め形成し或いは配置することに続いて、接続要素5を収納するように穿孔装置8によって開口部6を形成することが行われる。この工程において、マンドレル9は最初に部分的なキャビティ4の内部に孔7を介して駆動若しくは押し込まれ、プリフォーム3を貫通する。マンドレル9は、針先端部13を有した中空針として設計され、該針先端部13は複数の媒体通路、即ち孔の形式のものを有する。
In the method according to the invention, in the case of at least one
マンドレル9の駆動工程は、図2に示される。これはプリフォーム3から材料を打ち出すものではなく、プリフォーム3を貫通するのみである。これは特に、いくらかの環境下で完成した容器内をさまよってしまう、プリフォーム3から分離した材料片がなくなるという利点となる。
The driving process of the mandrel 9 is shown in FIG. This does not drive material from the
マンドレル9への駆動の後、送り装置12によって寸法取りスリーブ10もそうして形成される開口部6内に押圧され、その中で、寸法取りスリーブ10はマンドレル9よりも大きな径を有し、取り囲んで外側に傾斜した縁部15を具備する先端端部を有する。寸法取りスリーブ10は、定められた外径(図3参照)を有する開口部6を形成するため、プリフォーム3の材料を変形させる。
After driving to the mandrel 9, the
プリフォーム3に開口部6のサイズを決した後、寸法取りスリーブ10に相対してマンドレル9は引き戻され、寸法取りスリーブ10はプリフォーム3の開口部6内に残る(図4参照)。
After determining the size of the opening 6 in the
接続要素5は次いで図示しない部品保持部によって接続スタブ16を介してプリフォーム3の開口部6に挿入され、該部品保持部は金型凹部側即ちプリフォーム3の金型1の壁2とは遠い側に向いたプリフォーム3の側に配設される(図5参照)。
Next, the connecting element 5 is inserted into the opening 6 of the
接続要素5はニップルの形式で"二部品"として設計されており、該接続要素5は 樅の木状の外郭17を金型凹部側に有し、反対側には、その後の容器から突出する接続スタブ16を有している。図中、接続スタブ16はぎざぎざの無いスタブとして形成されているが樅の木状の外郭を有していても良い。接続要素5の接続スタブ16と樅の木状の外郭17は、貫通する流れを可能とする管状のポリアミドの主要部として設計される。接続要素5は更に周回するカラー18を有し、該カラー18は融着フランジ部19を有する。融着フランジ部19は好ましくは融着が可能なようにプリフォーム3の高密度ポリエチレン(HDPE)と相性の良い高密度ポリエチレンからなる。
The connecting element 5 is designed as a “two-part” in the form of a nipple, which has an oak-like outer shell 17 on the mold recess side and on the opposite side protrudes from the subsequent container. A connection stub 16 is provided. In the figure, the connection stub 16 is formed as a stub without jaggedness, but may have a birch-like outer shape. The connection stub 16 of the connection element 5 and the oak-like outer shell 17 are designed as the main part of a tubular polyamide that allows flow through. The connecting element 5 further has a
金型凹部側では、通気弁構造の通気ラインは接続要素5の樅の木状の外郭17に実装される。先に通気ラインを嵌合させることで、融着フランジ部19が金型凹部側でプリフォーム3に接触するまで接続要素5はプリフォーム3の開口部6に押し込まれる。この工程では、接続要素5は、融着フランジ部19の領域で、未だ溶融している温度のプリフォーム3に融着される。
On the mold recess side, the vent line of the vent valve structure is mounted on the wood-like outer shell 17 of the connection element 5. By connecting the ventilation line first, the connecting element 5 is pushed into the opening 6 of the
寸法取りスリーブ10が未だプリフォーム3の開口部6にある間(図5の接続要素5の挿入の後で図6の穿孔装置8の引っ込みの前)、中央型は外側型の間から取り除かれ、約4から7バールのブロー圧を与えることで作成される容器のブロー成形を仕上げるために、外側型は互いに閉じられる。この目的において、1つ若しくは複数のブロー用マンドレルがプリフォーム3内に駆動される。これらのブロー用マンドレルは図示していない。
While the
ブロー用マンドレルは気体状の圧力媒体、例えば空気を従来の方法で供給させる。そこを介して媒体を流すことができる中空針として設計されたマンドレル9は、圧力媒体ラインにより、ブロー圧を与え、圧力媒体の幾らかはマンドレル9を介して接続要素5に導入され、そこに接続された通気装置に導入され、それによって通気装置との圧力均衡化を成立させるように連通し、ブロー圧の最終の付与が通気装置の容積や部分的な容積の圧縮とならない。 Blowing mandrels supply a gaseous pressure medium, such as air, in a conventional manner. A mandrel 9 designed as a hollow needle through which the medium can flow is applied by means of a pressure medium line and blow pressure is applied, some of the pressure medium being introduced into the connecting element 5 via the mandrel 9 and there Introduced into the connected venting device, thereby communicating to establish pressure balancing with the venting device, the final application of blow pressure does not result in compression of the venting device volume or partial volume.
最終のブローの後、図6に示すように、穿孔装置は容器から或いはプリフォーム3から金型1内へは完全に退却する。
